Market commentary
Mecum sold this cute little Cul de Poule ("Mixing Bowl" according to Google Translates) torpedo at Las Vegas in November 2018 for $19,800. It tried to sell it here a year ago but the bid went only to $19,000 and the Citroen went home with its seller. It reappeared here this year with a much more reasonable pre-sale estimate of $10,000-$15,000 and found a new home at the midpoint. Sometimes it takes a little disappointment to communicate harsh reality and the new owner got a tiny little weekend driver for a reasonable price.
